Letting Go of Mom's Possessions Without Losing Her

The weekend after that show aired, I finally mustered up the courage to go through the pile of Mom’s clothes in my room; now there’s a large stack that will be headed to the resale shop or will be donated to charity. And I hope to make it through the tubs in the garage in the near future.

Anna and I agreed that it’s difficult to let go of the car and the clothes, but we also concurred that we need to hold on to those possessions that honor our loved ones and also which bring a positive energy to our lives.
